Listening to tRump brag about the US having the best "death rate" in the world is

so sickening. I decided to compare the US numbers to Europes. Europe is comprised of 48 countries with a landmass about the same size as the US although their population is about 2.25x that of the US. Ok, so large places, big populations, and as many different countries as we have states. You would think that with the greater population density and the challenges of trying to co-ordinate responses being much harder across 48 countries than a single one - Europes death rate would be higher.


But:

Europe 285 deaths per million
USA 594 deaths per million


Our rate is TWICE what it is in Europe (and rising). These numbers reflect 100% of the failure of tRump and his administration to take the needed steps to protect our citizens.
